Illustrated by
Bob Doucet.
Published in collaboration with Chicago's Field Museum, this picture book offers a contrived story about a mouse who accompanies the bones of the largest T. rex ever found from South Dakota to Chicago. Field Mouse, who is searching for the bone that was the roof of his burrow, finally remakes his home in the exhibition hall. Illustrations from a mouse's-eye view give varied perspective to the illustrations.
